Dawn Over The Mountains by Tu Fu

zdunno03's avatarLeonard Durso

The city is silent,
Sound drains away,
Buildings vanish in the light of dawn,
Cold sunlight comes on the highest peak,
The thick dust of night
Clings to the hills,
The earth opens,
The river boats are vague,
The sky still–
The sound of falling leaves.
A huge doe comes to the garden gate,
Lost from the herd,
Seeking its fellows.

      • I will but I won’t get the book till I’m back in NY at the end of April. By the way, I’m finally catching up on reviewing books by other bloggers and I have your three books on kindle to do soon. One at a time, obviously, but all three eventually. Though I’m not an avid reader of erotica, I have read one of yours. But I love your poetry very, very much.
